New Release Rundown ~ Week of 5.1.2011

This week the god of thunder, Thor himself, dominates the new releases, showing up on every platform imaginable (except the PSP?) as the movie hits theaters. Other than that, some notable releases are the Escalation map pack for Black Ops, as well as Section 8: Prejudice showing up on the PC only a couple weeks after it released on the Xbox 360. Finally, if you’re an RPG fan, you might want to check out Mount & Blade: With Fire and Sword. I hear the first one was pretty good, so maybe this one is better? What are you playing this week?
